This Freemason award in combination from the Freemason Foundation, presents this $500.00 prize to the top student from the Port Lincoln High School, Navigator College and St. Joseph’s Catholic School at each of their end of year valedictory and presentation nights.

The Italian Lodges working in Australia have close ties, exchanging visits each year. The first Australian Lodge specifically for Masons interested in Italian life and culture in Australia was established in Melbourne in 1986 under the United Grand Lodge of Victoria. The second was established in Sydney under the United Grand Lodge of New South Wales and the ACT in 1996. South Australia followed in 1997 with the formation of Leonardo Da Vinci Lodge No. 238. In December 2007 Italia Lodge was established in Perth under the Grand Lodge of Western Australia.
